CBS has decided to cut the song “Run This Town” from Thursday Night Football following the release of new footage of Ray Rice assaulting his wife. The song, which features Rihanna, Jay Z and Kanye West, was previously selected as the opening song to the Thursday Night Football pre-game show. Much of the decision to cut the song was due to the fact that Rihanna was the victim of domestic violence back in 2009. "We thought journalistically and from a tone standpoint, we needed to have the appropriate tone and coverage," said CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus. [SportsIllustrated]
